The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1887-06-10

Speaking of the pending election
in New York, the Tribune says, 1t
ought to be easy for the Republicans
to carry the State this fall. The
issue is already made up. On one
side are the Republicans, backed by
the neral sentiment of the State.
On the other side are the Democrats,
backed by the ruE power.
We think that the legislature has
done large amount of business this
session, and that the noise which is
made by some of the newspapers be-
cause it does not adjourn comes from
men who have little more knowledge
of the business before it and the
time it takes 10 do that work in the
interest of the people, than they
have of the empire of Great Britain.

synonymous TERMS.

One of the most beneficial effects of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
from National point of view, is the de-
struction of the Republican campaign
fund basis the railroad corporations have
SO long afforded the party of public and
private plunder. This has been one OF
the most powerful of the many arms OF
Republican corruption in the past,
and it is now completely para
lyzed. No more railroad subsi-
dies to Republican power, in
return for rotten legislation. No more
railroad bribes. No more railroad lobby
system OF corporation corruption that
ing, and the total overthrow of that vast
has for twenty-four years reached from
ocean to ocean. These results alone
immortalize the Interstate Commerce
commission. Railroads and Republi-
canism-corporation and corruption
alliterative terms that have too long been
synonomous.

unfortunates who wear the chains OF
Church and State? The system OF
Church government is founded on
vassalage and serfdom. 1t can
be nothing else. And 1t IS
is the most henious form of serfdom and
vassalage ever known to the world IN
any day and generation. 1t is a serfdom
of fanaticism. Fanaticism is taught and
fostered. To the physical load OF the
slave is added a mental burden. To
receive this burden the mind is
warped from infancy. The hui
man mind allowed its natural
development would refuse to bear
this burden. The serfs of Church
and State must be prepared for their fate
AS serfs they must be born; as serfs they
must develop, and as serfs they men
tally and physically obey their masters.
This double educational evil is what con-
stitutes the power of the Church, and
perpetuates its system. Utah is swept
bv the breezes of freedom from every
quarter of her surrounding hori-
zon. She is encompassed by
regions in which the tree of
liberty is spontaneous growth. Every
day she listens to the eloquent and
stirring story of the march of American
progress. And still there frowns in her
midst the evil fabric built by the hands
of superstition and fanaticism-the fabric
of Church and State-the seat of Serfdom
and Ivassalage. Truly, the Church
organ may talk of "Serfdom In
America" But though powerful still
for evil, this system of serfdom
and vassalage is not what it once was in
Utah. 1t has ceased to be omnipotent.
The steady and ever increasing influx Of
immigration from the surrounding re-
gions of freedom and civilization has
wrought wonders. The impulse of pro-
gress has been given. Its effects can be
seen on all sides. This impulse will
grow with the passage of time. Utah
can look confidently to her young
men for her final and glorious
redemption. These young men are
Americans. They are in full sympathy
with the American march of progress.
They recognize the incubus that has SO
long weighed down Utah, and will cast
it from their midst. By the efforts OF
her own children will Utah be emanci-
pated, and the glorious consumation is
not far off. Yet a few years, and the
heavy hand of vassalage and serfdom
will no longer be felt in Utah.

VASSALAGE AND SERFDOM.

A day or two since the morning church
organ preached a homily on "Serfdom
in America" The text of this homily
was the expressions of the Saints of Utah
by the United States Government.
"Serfdom" is q subject peculiarly
adapted for treatment by Utah journal,
but, as usual, the church organ
failed to grasp the key to
the situation. 1t went too far
afeld. 1t should have improved
the opportunity offered to its hand.
Utah itself is the salient point in q
homily on "serfdom." The Church
organ made a mistake when it went out
of the home record. This home record
has no rival. The evil fame. Of Utah
serfdom and vassalage has penetrated to
the uttermost parts of the earth. Why
then, should the Church organ abandon
so prolific a home field, and seek ma
terials for its homily on "Serfdom in
America" on the outside? Is there
any vassalage worse than that
of Church and State? Is there any
serfdom more hopeless than that inn
posed by the rulers and elders Of the
Tabernacle? Is there any place in all
of Gods broad universe where the peo-
pie are more securely filtered than the

THE Republican organ acknowledges
that it does not like the appointment of
G. R. Barratt as postmaster. Further on
it gives its reason for its objection to him
"because he is in business matters a
thoroughly honest man." THE Demo-
Graf is well satisfied with the appoint
ment. His application was endorsed by
the entire board of directors of The
DEMOCRAT Company, as well as by the
editorial and business management, and
it is safe to predict that none of the
signers will ever have reason to regret
their action. We commend the Admin
istration for its wisdom in making the
selection, and congratulate the people of
Salt Lake City upon securing the services
of ga thoroughly honest man" and a
good Democrat.

ODESSA, June 16.-There il a sound of
great rejoicing in the land. For more
than Two years, and we believe for five
years, the ground has not had such a
soaking as at the present time. Last
Friday during tho afternoon and night
we had a rainthat went down two inches
deep in the folds. and it is probably safe
to say that within the last thirty-six
least ~tive-inches, and coming as it did
in steady quiet showers without n
heavy wind it has accomplished the
greatest possible good. The ideal break
ing plows will now be put into imme-
diate use and our country will assume
its old time air of busy, enterprising
life and thrift. All except tho late sown
grains are in fine condition and gardens
arc coming on apace.

tune to loose an on on the railroad q few

The last volume of the United States
statutes contain some enactments of in
terest to Dakota. Gen. Campbell, in
looking over the book, discovers that
much of the legislation constructed to
fit the Utah case is made applicable to
all the territories, For instance 1t is
now the duty, under penalty Of punish
ment for 81 misdemeanor, for all persons
who solemnize marriages IN Dakota to
file with the probate judge of the county
a peculiar form Of certificate. This law
has been in force five or six months, and
a large number of ministers and justices
Of the peace are already liable to incar-
ceration in the county jail, and IL great
many people who imagine themselves
married would have some trouble in
getting q divorce. There are other laws
made to fit the polygamous habits of
Utah people which are in force in Da-
kota, and under them citizens of easy
morals are liable to be forever disfran.
chised and forever disgraced. A Dakotan
to be safe should purchase a pocket
edition ofthe United States statutes.

Rainy Lake & Southwestern.

A short time ago the Gazette made
mention of the building of a railroad by
st. Paul and eastern capitalists from
Rainy Lake, Mimi, to Bismarck, OAK,
and the section it would probably pass
through. From parties who were stop
ping at the hotel mi evening this week,
and who are looking over the country
in the interest of the company, we were
informed that the project is being pushed
as rapidly rs time and mean will per-
NIT. The surveyors are at work on the
Minnesota side. The road will cross the
Red river at or near Drayton, and then
nearly west to Auburn, where they cross
the Manitoba road. From Auburn a
southwesterly course will be taken in
order to reach Park River. and by the
way of Devils Lake to Bismarck. This
is practically the territory being Travelled
by the prospecting party. While here
they were looking over the ground on
the north side of the river rs Il proper
place for n station. We were gwen to
understand that the company, which
will be known as the Rainy Lake &
Southwestern, intend to cut up the
Northern Pacific and Manitoba's terri
tory as much as possible, and also that
of the Milwaukee road running along
the Red river east of Grafton They
claim by reaching Auburn they will tap
one of the largest wheat receiving sta
tons in eastern Walsh county, and the
same in coming to PARK River for the
western half. The road will have many
advantages for the country through
which it passes, as it will not only give
us cheap lumber from the great mills to
be built at Rainy lake, but also a water
outlet for wheat. 1t now begins to look
as though Park River is to be favored
with a road far more advantageous to
people than any from the south
which would parallel the present trunk
lines. The party left here in the direc-
ton of Devils Lake.
